Blazer bed sides?
 
Looking for drivers side bedside. I've been told that the bed side is different on the blazer than a short bed truck. Is there a quality after market bedside made? I have a 71 that is pretty smashed and filled with bondo, I need to replace it. Any advice or help? Thanks.

Most people just cut down truck sides

Are they the same after the wheel well?

Thanks, so if I find a short or long bedside I can cut it down and weld it in behind the door jamb.

Keep in mind that the corner of the bed in front of the wheels is different from a LWB and SWB but like others have said, a SWB wheel opening is the same as the K5. What I am trying to say is you cant use a LWB skin on a K5, at least not for all of it.

You want to use SWB bed sides. I just replaced mine with a set of Goodmark bedsides and they fit perfectly. All the body lines lined up. If you want to see my build just click on the link below

X2 with 1sik52 & Critter, swb best option!
